Answer:

E = 3.825×10⁻¹⁹ J

Step-by-step explanation:

Wavelength of photon = 5.2 ×10⁻⁷m

Energy of photon = ?

Solution:

Formula:

E = hc/λ

h = plancks constant = 6.63×10⁻³⁴ Js

c = speed of wave = 3×10⁸ m/s

by putting values,

E = 6.63×10⁻³⁴ Js ×3×10⁸ m/s / 5.2 ×10⁻⁷m

E = 19.89×10⁻²⁶ J.m / 5.2 ×10⁻⁷m

E = 3.825×10⁻¹⁹ J
